P.C.
1. Heard learned counsel for the parties on this Interim Application which
is filed praying for condonation of delay of 13 days in filing the Appeal from Order
bearing St. No. 22153 of 2026.
2. There is no written opposition filed to this Application. Learned
counsels appearing on behalf of the Respondent Nos. 1, 3 and 4 although have

6-IA-7004-2026 COPY.DOCX
orally opposed this Application vehemently, they would not dispute the well settled
position in law in a catena of judgments of the Supreme Court in regard to the
principles to be followed on condonation of the delay and more particularly they
would not dispute that, in the clear facts and circumstances of the case, as set out in
the memo of the Application, the Applicant ought not to suffer or be rendered
remediless in pursuing the Appeal From Order.
3. In the aforesaid circumstances, having perused the memo of the Application
and considering the period of delay not being very gross, in my opinion, the
reasons as set out certainly provide for an appropriate justification and a sufficient
cause shown by the Applicant in regard to the delay in filing the Application. It is
hence in the interest of justice that the delay is condoned.
4. The Interim Application is hence allowed in terms of prayer clause (A).
5. Interim application stands disposed of in the above terms. No costs.
